INFRASTRUCTURE

How might we create a unique landmark while being sensitive to a historic silhouette?

Istanbul Camlica Communication Tower
Istanbul, Türkiye

Marking the transformation of a city through the information age, TV and Radio Towers have since been the new landmarks of today’s modern cities. Beyond their programmatic and functional needs, a new TV and Radio Tower for Istanbul becomes a symbol for the current contemporary visions and cultures of Turkey, showcasing an advanced form of executing architecture, construction and technology.
